Hey Emma, you add lemon juice to help lower the PH to help the pectin gel properly and ‘set’ the jam. Lemon juice also helps lower bacteria growth I think.
The canoeing looked amazing!!! Floating down the river like a pooh stick. Imagine floating on a raft on your back, on a load of cushions wrapped in a blanket, just letting the current take you. 🦦🧘🏼
I've been wanting to go to Japan for a long time now, and I was planning on going after a big project I have is finished at the end of 2023, but something happened today and I now realise I won't ever be fit enough to travel, I have a lung condition and it's getting harder for me to just do everyday things. I am very down so I've been watching your videos all again to cheer me up, but at least I have them and others like them to show me what it's like and live vicariously through haha. Thank you so much!
I started laughing so hard at the "Look at this tiny pumpkin! Look at this child!" since that is 100% something I would do. My boyfriend heard me and I showed him that clip. He said, "That's you. How'd you get to Japan?" 🤣
Waow, Im currently time-travelling through your videos, its very zen and relaxing, gives em a lot of grounding. And what and adventure Japan ! You have been doing farming, glass blowing, pottery, onsen cooking, flying, cycling, .. really amazing travels.❣❣❣
Looks like fun, thanks for sharing...although as a long time kayak & canoe instructor, they're called kayaks. Canoes are open topped and you paddle them with a single bladed paddle. 🙂
That’s what I thought too! Definitely kayaks, but the place called them canoes so I’m like ?? Ah well still an amazing time on the water! The scenery was so beautiful
@@TokidokiTraveller Whether you're in a kayak or canoe, just being on the water is awesome. You see the world from such a different perspective and notice things that landlovers miss out on! 😊
I love your video style. Informative but also relaxing. The music you pick is very chill and soothing. Double the entertainment too, watching it through once, then again with auto generated subtitles to see what a mess it makes out of the Japanese words lol
I was just watching Ocean Waves from Studio Ghibli :))) one of my favorite films from them and it’s also set in Kochi! Good to see how it looks like irl
If you have a Q & A I'd love answers to a few questions. In junior high I had an exchange student stay with us for a few days at least. I still have the kimono and a couple other things. I took a semester of Japanese a little after that time. I find it all fascinating.
They took a van down to where we finished further down the river and picked us and the boats up and drove us back 😄 I was so worried we would have to kayak all the way back up the river 😂
Girl in the background, look mom i'm on RU-vid, lol. Emma should be a expert biker since she was on Broad's insane challenge to bike across Japan... too bad Chris was sick and didn't make good footage with Emma and Chris.
LOVED THE VIDEO! This might sound dumb but what is the most common way for travellers to get to the Kochi area from the mainland, especially if they have a JR pass?
Actually I just looked it up and you can use JR pass to get to kochi! It will take a while if you go from Tokyo because you can’t take the fastest train -nozomi. But the trip to kochi should be completely covered by JR pass 😄 to get to this specific area you can take a train to Tokawa station 😊 The quickest way to get there would probably be flying, but if you already have JR pass that would be super convenient 💪🏻
